I have a 700M avi file that I'd like to put on a (s)vcd. When I run

ffmpeg -i file.avi -target svcd out.mpg

the resulting file is over twice as big and thus

vcdimager -t svcd out.mpg

complains about the size.

Is it possible to make a (s)vcd from a 700M avi file?

I use the following, which produces two VCDs from a 700M avi, IIRC:

echo "maxFileSize = 795" > size.txt

transcode -i $INFILE -V -x mplayer -y mpeg2enc,mp2enc \
-F 1 -Z 352x288 --export_asr 2 -E 44100 -b 224 -o filevcd

tcmplex -i filevcd.m1v -p filevcd.mpa -o filevcd.mpg -m v -F ./size.txt

vcdimager -t vcd2 -c filevcd.cue -b filevcd.bin filevcd00.mpg

It can be burnt with:

cdrdao write --driver generic-mmc --speed 4 filevcd.cue

Cheers,

Paul

In what package is 'tcmplex'?

`AVI' is a container format, rather than a multimedia format: the
contents could be encoded using a variety of methods, including 480x576
MPEG-2. In this case, the answer would be yes.

However it is most likely that your AVI is using an encoding method
which is better at compression than MPEG-2 and then the answer would
most likely be no -- you will need to split it into multiple SVCDs
(details in a different person's reply).

You can find out some information about the contents of an AVI using the
`file' tool, e.g.:

$ file lego_lemmings.avi
lego_lemmings.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 360 x 288, 25.00 fps,
video: XviD, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 44100 Hz)

$ file cimg1549.avi
cimg1549.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 320 x 240, video: Motion
JPEG, audio: uncompressed PCM (mono, 8000 Hz)
